    Republican policies boil down to

    • Opposing “the commies”;
    • Guns.

    Wait. How did they end up in bed with Russia?

        Oh man they are definitely on the same wave with Russian government on this one. Just yesterday Russia banned all and any gender transition therapy/surgery. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone particular started pushing for similar stuff in the US.

      The “opposing the commies” bit used to be an anti-authoritarian stance. But now republicans have openly embraced autocracy as political language. It makes perfect sense from that angle.
